Howard Geoffrey’s black eyes, tinged with the flush of desire, slowly dimd at this mont...
Rebecca Quentin twisted open the dicine bottle, took out a tablet, and handed it to Howard Geoffrey, "Quickly take it!"
Howard Geoffrey gazed at Rebecca Quentin’s shy yet bright-eyed face, feeling as if his heart was suddenly gripped by sothing.
Rebecca Quentin saw that Howard Geoffrey wasn’t moved. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly in embarrassnt as she asked, "Sorry, do you think I didn’t ask for your consent..."
Howard Geoffrey shook his head.
This mont, Rebecca Quentin saw a flash of unknown complex emotions in Howard Geoffrey’s eyes.
"Becca..."
Pulling up the blanket to cover Rebecca Quentin’s bare upper body, Howard Geoffrey wrapped his arms around her slender waist, resting his head against her smooth shoulder.
"Hmm?"
"Actually, with Andrew as our child, I’m already quite content."
Rebecca Quentin leaned her back against Howard Geoffrey’s solid chest, turned her head with a smile, "I’m content too... But I feel having only Andrew is definitely not enough. Your mother also wants us to have more children, and you’ve always wanted a daughter..."
Howard Geoffrey suddenly said, "I don’t want that anymore."
"What?" Rebecca Quentin was taken aback, slightly unable to react.
Howard Geoffrey turned Rebecca Quentin’s slender figure so that they were facing each other.
Rebecca Quentin was clearly surprised by Howard Geoffrey’s sudden change of attitude, "You... You say you don’t want more children?"
Howard Geoffrey gazed into Rebecca Quentin’s stunning eyes widened by shock, speaking solemnly, "Do you rember when you gave birth to Andrew?"
Rebecca Quentin nodded.
"I’m really sorry I wasn’t by your side at that ti, but I could feel every difficult mont you endured while giving birth to Andrew..."
It’s said that won forget the pain after childbirth and heal over the scars, but Rebecca Quentin, who was eager to have another child for Howard Geoffrey, recalled the hardships of the day Andrew was born and suddenly felt timid.
The love from Howard Geoffrey spilled out tenderly, "That’s why I..."
Rebecca Quentin suddenly reached out to grab Howard Geoffrey’s hand, feeling the warmth in his palm, interrupting him, "I’m not afraid."
Rebecca Quentin stared intensely at Howard Geoffrey’s handso face, with no trace of fear in her eyes, only extraordinary determination, "I never blad you for not being by my side because with the distance between us at that ti, you had already given a lot... I still rember how you accompanied for prenatal check-ups, bought baby supplies for our unborn child, and never minded my constant grievances against you... Actually, with all the hatred you held back then, being so caring was already quite a remarkable thing..."
"Becca..."
Rebecca Quentin snuggled into Howard Geoffrey’s arms, speaking with a confident and hopeful tone, "So, I’m not afraid to go into the delivery room again, because I know next ti you’ll be beside , and as long as you’re by my side, I’m not scared of anything!"
Howard Geoffrey embraced Rebecca Quentin, his heart tight, his throat filled with a sour bitterness rising from his chest.
Rebecca Quentin blinked her clear eyes, looking expectantly at Howard Geoffrey, "You’ll be with , won’t you?"
Howard Geoffrey nodded, planting a tender kiss on Rebecca Quentin’s delicately scented hair.
Rebecca Quentin closed her eyes, nestled in his embrace, her beautiful face filled with happiness.
Howard Geoffrey held onto Rebecca Quentin’s frail shoulders tightly, his heart feeling like a thousand ants gnawing away, with an aching pain spreading through his limbs and bones.
He felt so guilty, so apologetic... for not being with her through every low mont of her life.
He knew very well that her heart had never strayed from him, yet he was stubborn, waiting for her to bow her head, waiting for her to co to him...
Because of this mont of stubbornness, he failed to protect their child, causing her to live with deep guilt to this day...
He knew that her strong desire to have a child was because she felt she didn’t protect their child, but she didn’t know, the one who should truly feel guilty is him.
He vowed to make those who hard her pay back tenfold for this debt, and he would use his lifeti to make ands for her...
Nightti, "Palace" Hotel.
Inside the room, Chester Robinson stood with his hands in his pockets by the hotel’s floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the city’s night view.
Keith Antony entered from outside and directly said, "Boss, I’ve already investigated what you wanted to."
"Hmm, speak."
"Your aunt Annie Robinson has indeed been threatened by Howard Geoffrey, which is why she has been instigating the elders in the family to leverage your background."
